Oh my gosh!! NancyF had the “Smoke in Your Eyes” book!! Does that mean that you can buy it in stores? I thought you had to have “connections.” Ok…this was a pointless thread but I had to say that!

I picked up a book of ancient Irish music in some used book store a while ago. The sheet music is arranged for the piano, but it also has some interesting history in it about irish harp players.
